I hate nothing more than having to continuously fill up leaking snow tires!!! Rust (corrosion on alloy wheels) along the tire bead is usually the issue and can become areal pain as temperatures drop.
I'm a big fan of alloys and haven't run 'steelies' for the past 20 years without issue. I prefer how the car feels with lighter alloys and so far corrosion has not been an issue. Besides, it doesn't look like an old taxi!
My recommendation would be get new alloys from TR with snows already mounted. I just did so for my partners SUV and the 18" alloy wheels were less than $500 for a set of 4.
